According to the primary sponsor of this bill, it would require a school district to notify CPS when a child is enrolled in a home education program. The county agency would then be required to conduct a “safety and risk assessment” of the family. While the actual language of the bill appears to trigger the assessment if a child in the home has been the subject of a founded or indicated report and the parent has been the subject of a report within the last 18 months, this bill is still unacceptable. There is no connection between homeschooling and child abuse.
